Question Coil overs or air shocks

Where can I get Coilovers for my 2008 accord lx. I see them for older accords and civics. Also can I put air shocks on it to lower it and adjust ride height

I think you are a bit confused. A true coilover is height adjustable, but you have to do it manually.

Air ride is a totally different setup.

That's true I was asking which is better in terms of adjusting it for ease and look. I was told I can't put air shocks on a Honda but I think I I find the right suggestion I'll go with coil overs

You can do air ride on a Honda. I have plenty of friends who have it. It is expensive though....not only do you have the air struts, you have to have compressors, the control switches, air lines........in all you will spend at the very least probably $2500.

I would personally go with coilovers. There are plenty of setups for your car. Just do some research.

-Koni Yellows/Ground Control coilover sleeves
-Function&Form Type 1 or Type 2
-D2
-KW
-Tein SS
-Tanabe Sustec Pro
-KSport

Do you have a 4cyl or a 6 Cyl.
It makes a difference in fit.

Just search on eBay. 90% of the time, eBay is the place you find them cheapest.

For example....I searched "2008 honda accord tein ss" The first result is the correct item.

2008 honda accord tein ss | eBay



Just do that with the other suspension options (some may not be made for your car), but that will give you an idea of the price.
